The world of Night Shift Co.
The Pale Lantern Hotel never quite closed. Every night it hires new staff through Night Shift Co., an agency that asks no questions. After midnight the building starts to rearrange itself: paintings tilt, doors swing shut and a faceless guest in a white bathrobe stands where no guest should be.
Your job sounds simple. Do your hourly tasks, walk the halls and photograph everything that’s wrong — every correct photo calms the hotel down, and every wrong one makes it worse. Let the unease climb too high and something in a tattered bellhop’s uniform starts walking the halls: the Lurker.
Play solo or with up to three friends, vote Normal or Hard before each shift and earn wages for flashlight colors and name-tag titles. It’s quiet dread rather than gore: no blood, just a hotel that knows you’re watching.
Your first five minutes
Clock in
Mr. Vale, the night manager, radios in with your orders. Your very first shift is a guided orientation that teaches you the job.
Do your rounds
Answer the ringing phone, finish your hourly tasks and walk the corridor, guest rooms, laundry and lobby.
Photograph the anomaly
Something moved, vanished, changed color or switched on. Point your camera at it and take the shot. A green FILED stamp means you got it right.
Watch the unease meter
Every anomaly you miss makes the hotel more restless. If the meter fills, the shift fails, and the Lurker wakes up long before that.
Survive until 6 AM
Make it to morning to collect your wages, rank up and get your shift report card graded from A to F.
Why you’ll love it
10 kinds of anomaly
Tilted paintings, vanished props, wrong room numbers, muddy footprints, a TV hissing with static and a guest who shouldn’t be there.
The Lurker
When the hotel gets too restless, a gaunt figure hunts the nearest worker. Photograph it to banish it for a while, or retreat to the safety of the staff room.
Instant prints
Every photo ejects a print that develops in your hand, then gets stamped FILED or VOID. Your best shot of the night lands on your report card.
Normal or Hard
Vote before each shift. Hard brings anomalies faster and wakes the Lurker sooner, but pays one and a half times the wages.
Seven ranks
Climb from Trainee to Hotel Legend, and spend your wages in the staff store on flashlight beam colors and name-tag titles.
Reduced scares
A comfort setting turns off the camera snap, screen shake and flashing for players who want the mystery with fewer jolts.
Ways to play
Normal
The standard shift: six in-game hours, a steady stream of anomalies and a Lurker that stays away until the hotel gets really restless.
Hard
Faster anomalies, more of them at once and an earlier Lurker, all for 1.5× wages.
Meet the cast
Mr. Vale
Your voice on the radio. He walks new staff through their first shift and leaves a handwritten comment on every report card.
The Lurker
Tall, gaunt and pale, in a tattered burgundy bellhop’s uniform. It only comes out when the hotel grows too restless.
The Guest
A faceless figure in a white bathrobe who stands perfectly still wherever no guest should be.
Straight from the game
Good questions
Can I play solo?
Yes. Solo shifts are tuned for one player, with two tasks an hour instead of three so you have time to hunt anomalies.
How scary is it?
It’s quiet, creepy tension with a few jump scares, and there’s no blood or gore. The Reduced scares setting turns off the camera snap, screen shake and flashing.
Is it free?
Yes. It’s free to play on Roblox, and optional purchases only unlock cosmetics.
Does it work on phone or console?
It’s built for PC, phone, tablet and console, with PHOTO, LIGHT and PING touch buttons and full controller support. We’re finishing tests on real devices before launch.
